      All of our dates and pricing are listed online. The maximum group size is 12 people and our team in destination will be arranging all accommodations and transportation including the internal flights. We do have a tailor made department that is able to put together custom tours however they do have a minimum requirement of 4+ people, 4-5 nights in destination, and the departure date needs to be a minimum of 12 weeks out so that they can have enough time to arrange everything.

  • S

    Sherry

    Asked on November 20th, 2023

    It is unclear which tour is this, tourradar's or Intrepid's? The tour map is too schematic; it does not show the cities/places to visit? Plus, the map doesn't clearly show the flights; The flight from Santa Marta to Bucaramanga supposedly includes transit in Bogota; why? Is there not a direct flight from Santa Marta to Bucaramanga? Cannot access the available dates and exact costs; interested in departures in Feb. or March, 2024?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2023

      On day 12 After a continental breakfast, head off for an included flight from Santa Martha to Bucaramanga (with a transit in Bogota). Please note that the flight schedule from Santa Martha to Bucaramanga with a stopover in Bogota is still sparse so the transit time in Bogota can be long.

    • S

      Sherry

      Traveler•Written November 2023

      12 destinations' tour vs. 10 destinations' tour; which 2 destinations are missing in the latter? The price CAD5,192.00 and duration (17 days) appear to be the same for both tours! I am interested for the March 2 - 18, 2024 tour.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2023

      Best of Colombia (10 destinations) is not a tour operated by Intrepid. The tour offered by us is the Best of Colombia (12 destinations). Through this trip you'll discover South America's best-kept secret on this 17-day adventure through the verdant mountains and powdery beaches of Colombia.

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2022

      For this date, we currently have 2 travelers confirmed in their 30s. We usually see a wide variety of travelers ranging from 30 - 60 years old. On day 3 there is an option to hike to Acaime which is approximately 5 hours. It is quite strenuous, with some steep and slippery sections, so you'll need good walking shoes as well as plenty of water and snacks. A generous boxed lunch will be provided. If you'd rather take it easy, you can explore the valley as you please, then take a jeep back to town. The hike on Day 11 in the Tayrona National Park is flexible and can be tailored to suit all fitness and energy levels. There can be some steep ups and downs, and some muddy spots if it's been raining, so your group leader can organize a route that pleases everyone. A single supplement is bookable for this trip and subject to availability - $950 CAD. The single supplement excludes Days 3,4 (Cofee Estancia) and Days 10,11 (Guesthouse) where you will be in shared accommodation. This trip is currently on sale for $4,035 CAD! Book before December 1st to take advantage of this amazing deal.
